My Foray into My Midwestern Roots

Wordless Wednesday – Happy Birthday, Frank!

I wish I could just add a photo and keep it wordless – unfortunately, I can’t! This photo was taken on July 30, 1916 at the occasion of William Frank Clawson’s 58th birthday! “Frank” was my maternal great-grandmother’s 2nd husband. Standing left to right: John Stern, Frank Clawson, George Fouch. Seated left to right: Mary Stern, Martha Clawson (my great-grandmother), Mollie Fouch.

John Stern was Martha’s older brother who was married to Mary Ann Betts. Mollie (Mary) Fouch was Frank’s sister who was married to George Fouch. I am pretty sure this photo was taken in Anderson, Indiana, where the Clawson’s lived.
